How sign-in works

Sign-in uses the Google account you already have, so there is no new password. We receive your name and email address from Google, and your study progress is saved to your account so it follows you between devices, including the Licensure Professor app. We add you to the study-plan email list once: the 16-week study plan, then one short email a week about study strategy. Unsubscribe any time and your account keeps working. The privacy policy explains what is stored and how to delete it.

Where to start after you sign in

If you have not started studying, take the free 25-item baseline first. It scores you on each of the six domains and names the lesson to open first. Then enter your exam date in the study planner, which turns it into a dated, week-by-week plan, and follow the plan's order: assessment first, about 20 minutes a day plus one longer weekend block. Taking the NCMHCE? Start with the baseline case and the NCMHCE course.

A worked example. You sign in on a Sunday with your exam about four months away. You take the baseline, which points you to Intake, Assessment and Diagnosis, set your date in the planner, and add the plan to your calendar. On Monday you open the first lesson it lists, clear your due flashcards, and take the lesson's quiz. The progress page now shows where you stand, and each time you come back it picks up from there.
